Events

A rare alignment of improv is happening at Playhouse on Park! A smorgasbord of improv groups will be performing on the same day, at the same time, at the same place! The fun-filled evening will feature some of the area's best known improv groups as well as up and coming performers.

Eat, drink, laugh, and shout suggestions as Sea Tea Improv's team of professional comedians host an evening of improvised comedy at City Steam Brewery's Brew Ha Ha Comedy Club, 942 Main Street, in Hartford, CT. Their work has been featured on ESPN, NPR, WFSB, and more. Best of all, admission is FREE!

See why the Hartford Advocate recognized Sea Tea Improv's monthly show as one of the top things to do in Hartford. Enjoy City Steam's dinner menu and locally brewed beers while performers take suggestions from you and weave them into comedic scenes.

On Sunday, February 24th, the comedy club doors open at 6PM for seating and food. Improv begins at 7PM. Call ahead to City Steam at 860-525-1600 to reserve seats. All ages are welcome. Due to the sale of alcohol, those under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Hanging with Harold - Weekly Drop-In Jam

Hanging with Harold is not a class or a workshop. It's not a show, either. It's a learn-by-doing drop-in jam where Sea Tea Improv and members of the improv community (that's you, just by showing up!) perform a kind of longform improv together known as the Harold.

"You'll have to do about a hundred Harolds to start feeling comfortable with the form." - Matt Besser, founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade

We will keep track of the cumulative number of Harolds done by each participant from week to week. Each week, we will do 1, 2 or 3 Harolds (time depending), and everyone who participates will add to their Harold total toward everyone's personal goal of 100 completed Harolds.

Who will be first to reach 100 Harolds completed?

$5 per person

Get a Clue Tours! Solve a murder mystery in the Mark Twain House with Sea Tea Improv!

WHO KILLED PAP FINN IN THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE?

Was it Becky Thatcher in the Library with the Lead Pipe? Tom Sawyer in the Billiards Room with the wrench? Perhaps it was Huck in the Dining Room with the revolver! A live action parody of the classic 1949 board game CLUE, we invite you to crack the case using deductive reasoning and a detective’s skill!

SEA TEA IMPROV become the classic suspects as you play a live action game in The Mark Twain House itself!
